MIT SP.235 Chemistry of Sports

MIT SP.235 / ESG.SP235 Chemistry of Sports

This seminar will focus on three sports: swimming, cycling and running. There will be two components to the seminar: classroom sessions and a "laboratory" in the form of a structured training program. The classroom component will introduce the students to the chemistry of their own biological system. With swimming, running and cycling as sample sports, students are encouraged to apply their knowledge to complete a triathlon shortly after the term.

Reviews and comments:

I enjoyed this lecture and found Danny to be very constructive in his observation and advising of the class participants. I'm looking forward to my next run and implementing the new things I learned from this lecture. Thank you.
